Virtual reality • will be like imagination in that [IT] will engender unbounded variety. It will be like physical reality in that it will be objective and shared. And it will be like language because adults will be able to be expressive with it at a speed that is at least comparable to the speed of thought. Jaron Lanier - Dawn of the New Everything (p. 295).
